I Am Bread is the latest offering from Bossa Studios, makers of the equally quirky Surgeon Simulator series.

In this game you take control of a slice of bread attempting to toast itself by any means necessary.

You control your breakfast treat by grabbing each corner and swinging the rest around to find additional places to hold on, all the while trying to stay clean enough to remain delicious.

It sounds strange and it definitely is.

There are various areas of an attractive 1950’s American house to navigate including kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms, each with their own set of distinct obstacles to avoid.

While the controls can frustrate initially, with practice you’ll soon be swinging and flopping around like a pro, demolishing household appliances to toast yourself on their fiery innards.

Visually I am Bread is a pleasure to look at with cartoon-style graphics that really pop from the screen (especially if played on an iPad) and a special mention should be made to the superb soundtrack which makes replaying levels a joy rather than a chore.

The main story of the game will take between 4 to 6 hours to complete but there are numerous objectives in each level (such as finishing within a certain time or keeping your ‘Edibility’ meter full) to keep you coming back for more.

If you are looking for something a little bit different from your usual gaming diet and are not afraid of a challenge, having a punt on I Am Bread would not be such a half-baked idea.
